Does Ames Have Access to Enough Locally Grown Fruits and Vegetables?

Need to buy some fresh food? Check out our interactive map of the closest farmers markets and when they’re open. By clicking on the check marks on the right, you can see which markets are open on which days of the week.

Green markers mean the markets are open that particular day. Gray markers mean that the markets are either closed that day, out of season or closed indefinitely.

Of course, aside from the farmers markets in the area, we have Wheatsfield Cooperative and John's Natural Foods, and Hy-Vee has a selection of local foods.

What do you think? Is there access to adequate local fruits and vegetables in our area?
